That my original Declaration for a Pension, was made on or about the 9 th day of April, 1818, & was numbered 455. That I am by occupation a Blacksmith, but by reason of the infirmities of age, am disabled in a great measure from pursuing my avocation, that my family consists of myself & my wife Elizabeth, aged about fifty eight or sixty, weakly & very often unable to do the work of the family - I have with me but one son, aged eighteen, learning the Blacksmiths trade. I have eight daughters living from home, some of whom are married & some single, who are by their industry providing for themselves. My blacksmiths tools & shop, are not my own property, but are rented yearly by me of Robert Colfax Esq & that about eleven years past I failed in my business & was obliged to take the benefit of the Insolvent laws of New Jersey - Sworn to & declared the 8 th day of July 1820 before Gab H Ford.
